It seems like the last few weeks when anyone brought up the New Year, all I would say in return is "Big things in 2010." Sometimes I would get even more fired up and tag on a baby to that, "big things in 2010, BABY!!" and then proceed to nudge, nudge and wink, wink whoever I was talking to. It then suddenly occurred to me; what exactly does "big things in 2010 even mean?" Ha, it was in this moment I decided I needed to define what these big things were if I plan on getting anywhere. And that is when the 2010 inspiration fest began. A box of old photos, a couple quote books, some wise emails from pops, Adele blasting from my computer, a glance at Rev Run's twitter page and we were in business. I thought I'd share some of my favorite 2010 inspirations:

 

"love life, engage in it, give it all you've got. love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it"

Maya Angelou

 

That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure.

Madonna

 

"I've come to believe that seeking happiness is not a frivolous pursuit. It's honorable and necessary. And most people forget even to think about it."

Goldie Hawn

 

"At a critical time in my life, [prayer] pushed me to take responsibility for my own happiness--to stop waiting for that elusive someone or something to mend and define my life."

Elizabeth Lesse

 

Maybe . . . the happiest of people
don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

Carol Torchia

Believe....in yourself, in your dreams, in the

beauty of everyday moments, in the joy of simple pleasures, in the power

of a smile, in the gift of family and friendship, in your ability to

touch the hearts of other people and make a difference in this world.

Believe it in your heart.

 

I guess the big things I'm referring to are: putting your heart into your job, clients, family and friends. Making the most out of everything.  Counting blessings. Enjoying your friends finding true happiness, being the best sister, daughter and friend that I can possibly be. Enjoying the present. Catching lots of sunsets, trying new things.

Caring. Listening. Creating.  Happy 2010!
